Author's notes: thanks to all my faithful readers yet again and I am glad that you liked that chapter as like I said before that I didn't think it was one of my best. This chapter is based on a old episode where nick and Zoe got together on the show after him asking Zoe out for a drink when she with Matt and I'm not sure what the episode was called so I've take bits and added it to my story. To be honest I am not sure this chapter is as good as I though lol. I also added Ballet class as I am a Ballet dancer myself so I just wanted to add it and I hope you guys don't mind.

Thanks to my faithful readers and you know who you are and god bless you all .sorry I didn't get time to write you all down this time , like I usually do.

Zoe got out the shower and got dressed and applied a fresh layer of make- up and was pleased at the result and walked back in the lounge not even acknowledged that Nick was still reading his paper but peeping over the edge to look at Zoe who was looking super hot today in a nice tight figure hugging grey and pink dress. Zoe made herself a strong black coffee and walked over to the girls

"Ella, Savannah come on you've got to get ready for Ballet classes"

Savannah got up and went straight to her bedroom and got changed for Ballet classes. Ella on the other hand would not budge and stayed were she was.

"Ella Jordan Shift now" Zoe ordered

Ella moaned and stormed off to her room and slammed her door as hard as she could.

"Nick what's going on, what have I done"

Nick got up and just walked off to his and Zoe's room to get ready leaving a stunned Zoe who watched Nick walk to the bedroom and close the door.

What's going on with him, he was fine last night Zoe said to herself. A few moments later Ella and Savannah appeared in the lounge fully dressed in their ballet clothes and their hairs done in neat buns with ribbon which matched their leotards.

"Right, say goodbye to your dad" Zoe said to both girls who nodded and called out in turn

"Bye dad "Ella called out loud enough for the world to hear.

"Bye Daddy" Savannah shouted

Nick poked his round the door and saw his girls all dressed in their Ballet clothes. Nick smiled for the first time that morning.

"Bye Girls, don't for get to point those toes" Nick said as he stuck his tongue out at Savannah who laughed. Ella on the other hand just rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"Right, let's go and have you got everything?" Zoe asked as she reached the door.

Once in the car they strapped themselves in with Ella in the front with Zoe and Savannah in the back seat sitting quite happily as she looked out the window.

"Mum?"

"Yes Ella "

"Why isn't dad talking to you?"

"I don't know he's just in one of his funny moods again" Zoe said as she looked at the worried look on Ella's face.

"Dad slept on the sofa last night Mum so something must be going on, is it because I told him about your patient the other day because last night I had a bad nightmare and Dad came into my room and calmed me down and I was so scared and I accidently told him the truth"

"oh, I am so sorry I wasn't there when you needed me baby but , I wasn't very well last night" Zoe reached across to Ella and kissed her cheek and held her small delicate had in her own. Ella smiled at her mother who smiled at her back but with hurt in her eyes as she was annoyed that Nick didn't tell her or even wake her up last night.

"It's ok Mum don't worry about it because you have always been there for me when I've been ill or when I fell over that time and broke my arm and It was nice to have dad look after me"

Zoe was shocked at what she just heard her baby girl telling her it was ok as if she was the child herself and this was her girl clearly growing up into a strong and loving young lady before her.

Once they reached the dance school Zoe thought she would stay for a few moments as she hadn't watched her girls do Ballet for a while and plus Nick was already angry with her and it wouldn't hurt to annoy him even more.

Savannah's class was opposite to Ella's so Zoe watched Savannah first for 10 minutes and from what she could see that Savannah was rather good at Ballet as she was at the front pointing her toes and placing her feet in the right position and her arms in the right positions to match the feet. After 10 minutes Zoe walked into Ella's class and was blown away at how talented and how natural Ella was at Ballet. Mrs Bennett Emily's mother walked up to Zoe and asked if Ella would like to come and have asleep over at Emily's house and Zoe instantly said yes as she knew Ella would love to. Mrs Bennett who said to call her Sam said that she will pop round their home after dance and let Ella pick something's up and then they would go back to Emily's house. Zoe agreed with the arrangement. The same thing happened as Zoe left Ella's class and waited for Savannah and once again she agreed Savannah would love it and so Zoe had a free night with Nick tonight but dreaded it as she know Nick won't be looking forward to it not one bit

Zoe left the girls at dance class knowing that they will be looked after and headed for work. Zoe arrived and pulled in to her reserved parking space which was next to Nicks which was empty He must be still getting ready Zoe thought to herself.

Once inside the Ed Zoe placed a false smile on her face as she was greeted by the gang at the Reception desk which was where they all were hanging around as she made her way over to hr locker and hung her coat up and placed her bag in the locker and took out her pink stethoscope and wrapped in round her neck and started her shift.

After being at work for a couple of hours she and Nick still hadn't spoken until Zoe had a patient how had just go in to cardiac rest and was trying to resuscitate him but was having now luck and Nick could see she was having trouble and so he pointed out that he was already dead as Zoe was still trying to revive him.

"He's dead Zoe "Nick said to Zoe as he knew he had power over her at work being her boss. That little comment made Zoe storm over and pull her latex gloves off and just as she said to Nick

"Great, thank you I wouldn't have worked that out myself" Zoe said sarcastically

"Clearly not" Nick said as he walked off with a smirk on his face.

Zoe finally calmed down and decided to write the notes up about the poor man that lost his life at the reception when Tess suddenly appeared next to Zoe as she also started signing paperwork.

"Everything alright" Tess asked as she went through her paper work.

"Yeah everything is fine" Zoe said cheerfully but really knew that everything was not ok .

"How are the girls?"

"Oh they are fine and at Ballet class then staying with friends tonight"

"Awww that nice" Tess said cheerfully as she signed yet another piece of paper work

"Uh oh Little miss Sunshine heading this way" Zoe said to Tess as Nick approached the reception area.

"Here sort these" Nick shoved some paper work in front of Tess and Zoe who did not look happy

"Please" Tess added as Nick walked off to check the patient board.

"Dr Hanna Patient cubical 4 now" Nick ordered

"Excuse me, do it your bloody self, You know what I've had it with you today, I've had it with your chippy attitude clomping around in your annoying loud shoes and making everyone's lives crap . You're like the power of Nick Jordan to like the power of a million and it isn't pretty so whatever it is take it far away from me as possible"Zoe barked and walked away.

Nick watched Zoe walk away down the corridor but little did Nick know that he was being watched by Charlie who was just round the other side of the pillar.

Nick walked back to his office and began making phone calls to Henry and the rest of the board members.

Because of Nick's attitude towards Zoe she began to bark orders at the nurses as she was in foul mood. Charlie and enough of his poor nurses feeling the brunt of things and decided to have it out with Nick as he knew he was the cause of the problem.

Charlie Knocked on Nick's office door and waited to be called in.

"Come in "

"Charlie what can I do for you? "Nick said cheerfully

"Right I just wanted to say fix it whatever has happened between you and Zoe because she is driving us mad and I know you're the problem as you have been snapping at Zoe all day and don't bother denying it" Charlie ordered.

"Look I am sorry and could you get Zoe for me please"

"Yeah, sure and remember sort it "Charlie said as he left the office in search of Zoe who he found straight way.

"Nick has asked to see you "

"Alright, thanks Charlie"

Nick had his head in his hands when Zoe entered the office and closed the door.

"You wanted to see me "Zoe said as she wanted to keep it professional.

I wasn't sure where to end it so I choose here as I could have gone on forever and ever haha. Well I hope you enjoyed it.
